Chris Getz has decided to retire from baseball.

Getz was outrighted off the Blue Jays' 40-man roster earlier this week but has decided to hang up his cleats rather than report to Triple-A Buffalo. Just 30, Getz finishes his career with a .250/.309/.307 batting line over parts of seven major league seasons. "I've enjoyed every minute that I've played and will always be passionate about the game," Getz said. "I'm starting a family, and I'm interested in other endeavors both inside and outside of the game." Fri, May 16, 2014 09:40:00 AM

Getz was batting .309/.382/.338 with nine RBI and six steals over his first 18 games in Triple-A and should get most of the playing time at second base following the Ryan Goins demotion. With his speed, he's worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. Tue, Apr 29, 2014 12:12:00 PM

Pillar tore a thumb ligament in early August on a successful steal attempt. He returned a month later and played with the injury down the stretch. Pillar has already begun rehabbing and should be ready in plenty of time for spring training. The 27-year-old hit .266 with seven homers, 53 RBI, 35 doubles and 14 steals over 146 games this season.
